I have a Tivo HD but will upgrade to Premiere when they release the Tivo Stream boxes. Other than Airplay mirroring, I dont see why having the Appple TV makes sense if the Premiere can do Netflix & Hulu which are the only two I would really use. Am I missing something?

as I understand it, the apple tv unifies all of the video providers under apple's GUI and common controls, rather than jumping into a different app with different remote controls, different design, etc.

I *HATE* this about tivo. Love the unified search in tivo but these flash apps need to DIE. I do not know how search works on apple TV, anybody have one?

If apple tv somehow got the ability to subscribe to IPTV or take a cable card, then I think I would jump off the tivo ship. But as it is now, cable is a large source of what I watch.

Exactly. I'm watching hulu and netflix content on AppleTV... while the TiVo is still loading the hulu and netflix software. The iPhone and iPad remote app for AppleTV is also the same for everything. Controls for TiVo are different than netflix which is different than youtube.... etc.

Like most things Apple, everything works the same way. The interface doesn't get in the way. On my TiVo's, the interface is in the way of everything. Heck, the HD and SD interfaces haven't even been unified.

Hulu+ on AppleTV is the best out there. Not just the layout but the navigation speed is better than any other device I've ever used.

totally agree. the hulu+ apple tv might just make me pay for + once my free sub is up. its fast and more intuitive unlike the roku and tivo. I dont have a need for + since everything there i get ota and record anyway, the apple tv might be enough for me to keep it to discover new things not available on other platforms.
